Social Life in Greece 
From Homer to Menander

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I have since been enabled to complete two new volumes, covering part of the huge gap between clas sical and modern Greece, and have given in my Greek L ife and T kougkt from t/ze a’eatk of Alexander to Me Roman Conquest, and in T/ze Greek World under Roman Sway, the evidence culled from the Greek authors between Menander and Plutarch. As well as some estimate of that literature. These volumes were therefore strictly a sequel to the present one, worked out in the same way from the texts themselves, and will answer the objection that I had paused in the middle of my great subject. There yet remains the appreciation of Greek Life under the Roman Empire from the days when Christianity became a social force. I trust I may yet be able to complete this task.
